FISH IMMUNE SYSTEM

FISH IMMUNE SYSTEM

The defence against infections is the essential function of the immune system of all Vertebrates. Fish present an efficient and developed immunologic response and in the case of Teleosts, with some similarities to the higher vertebrates. It can be divided into two types: innate or non specific and a...
